Sensitivity to hidden bias: Rosenbaum bounds

OutcomeCritical ΓInterpretation
Contract duration1.30A hidden confounder increasing the odds of treatment by 30% would render the effect statistically insignificant
Monthly Salary 2017 (€)3.00Conclusions remain unchanged unless an unobserved factor increases treatment odds by 200%
Monthly Salary 2018 (€)1.80Robust to moderate levels of unobserved selection
Monthly Salary 2019 (€)1.80Robust to moderate levels of unobserved selection
Note(s):

Γ denotes the Rosenbaum sensitivity parameter. A value of Γ = 1\Gamma = 1Γ = 1 corresponds to no hidden bias. Reported values indicate the smallest Γ\GammaΓ at which the treatment effect loses statistical significance at the 5% level. Rosenbaum bounds are computed using the matched sample underlying the baseline estimate
